tropical hibiscus - when to cut back - bringing out from GH now

roseyp8255
15 years ago

Hi ya'll,

When is the best time to cut them back for freshening? Is it now, when i am bringing htem out of the greenhouse? And how far back should i cut them?

Thanks in advance - I am going to make sure i don't lose any of them - they were passed down to me from my Mom (RIP).
